[Solved]: Shana received her first medroxyprogesterone…

Shana received her first medroxyprogesterone (Depo-Provera) injection six weeks ago and calls the clinic, concerned that she has been having a light period off and on since receiving her Depo shot. What should the provider do? Reassure her that some spotting is normal the first few months of Depo and it should improve. Schedule an appointment for an exam as this is not normal. Prescribe four weeks of estrogen to treat the abnormal vaginal bleeding. Order a pregnancy test and suggest she use a back-up method of contraception until she has her next shot.
